Ilie  }'(>itng'  (Wt>g'ist,  a  paper  recently  started,  promises  to  be  of  great 
value  to  all  who  are  interested  in  studying  birds,  the  collecting  of  their 
egg1..,  and  specimens  of  natural  history  in  general.  It  gives  useful  and 
practical  information  regarding  ornithology  and  oology.  It  answers  all 
questions  sent  in  from  month  to  month,  thus  meeting  the  practical  wants 
of  all  subscribers.— Providence,  R.  I.,  Evening  Telegram,  July  8,  1884. 

It  is  a  bright  paper  which  gives  in  popular  language  a  great  amount  of 
useful  information  about  birds,  eggs,  nests  and  collecting. — Hand-book  of 
the  St.  Nicholas  Agassix  Association. 

The  Young  Oologist ,  published  by  Frank  l.attin,  (laines,  X.  Y.,  makes 
its  debut  this  month  ;  we  give  it  a  hearty  welcome  ;  quite  a  number  of  our 
readers  are  making  collections  of  eggs  and  natural  curiosities,  we  will  say 
to  them  if  they  want  to  know  the  habits  of  birds  and  how  to  make  collec- 
tions that  will  be  valuable  and  add  to  their  scientific  knowledge,  they 
should  by  all  means  get  the  Young  Oologist.  We  have  seen  collections  of 
eggs  that  were  not  properly  blown  and  identified,  they  are  therefore  of  no 
value.  There  is  a  right  way  and  a  wrong  way  of  doing  things  ;  the  right 
way  is  always  the  best. — Rio  Grande,  N.  (.,  Times. 

It  is  a  positive  fact  that  the  You >ig  Oologist,  of  Ciaines,  N.  Y.,  is  the 
best  and  most  practical  bird  egg  paper  we  have  yet  seen,  and  we  do  not 
hesitate  to  recommend  it  to  collectors  of  that  branch. — Collector's  Exchange. 

It  bids  fair  to  become  indispensible  to  the  Oologist.  The  editor  has  "our 
wishes  for  its  future  success.  --The  Naturalists'  journal. 

It  is  a  very  readable  and  instructive  paper  for  boys  who  are  anxious  to 
know  something  about  ornithology,  a  most  delightful  and  prolific  study. 
We  commend  it  cordially  to  our  young  readers. — Saratoga  Kagle. 

It  is  especially  devoted  to  wide-awake  boys  and  girls  who  are  interested 
in  the  science  of  eggs,  and  its  pages  are  well  filled  with  readable  matter 
upon  that  and  similar  topics. — Cat taraugus  Republican. 

Its  value  to  collectors  of  birds'  eggs  is  apparent  in  the  reading  matter 
presented  and  \ve  would  advise  collectors  to  subscribe  for  it. — Our  Yerdict. 

Useful  and  interesting  to  all  collectors  of  birds'  eggs  and  other  natural 
subjects  of  scientific  study. — The  Peacemaker. 

Filled  with  interesting  notes,  and  well  worth  its  subscription  price.— 
Ink  1  )rops. 

"  Your  paper  is  certainly  a  live  one  and  of  great  value  for  the  class  for 
whom  it  is  designed.'' — S.  K.  Cassino.

During  the  season  of  1883  iny  trade  was  fully  four  times 
that  of  1882,  and  during  the  season  of  1884  it  has  been  fully 
four  times  that  of  1883.  As  great  an  increase  during  the 
season  of  1885  I  cannot  expect,  but  of  my  old  customers, 
while  feeling  grateful  for  their  patronage  of  the  past,  I 
hope  to  merit  a  continuance  of  the  same  in  the  future. 

To  those  who  have  never  dealt  with  me  I  only  request  a 
trial,  remembering  I  guarantee  satisfaction  with  every 
specimen  I  send  out,  and,  if  not  entirely  so,  will  make  it, 
or  will  refund  your  money. 

Catalogue  for  1885. 

In  preparing  my  catalogue  for  1885  I  have  spared  neither 
time  nor  expense  to  make  it  invaluable  to  the  Oologist 
whether  amateur  or  professional. 

It  gives  the  common  and  scientific  names  of  all  North 
American  birds,  arranged  and  numbered  according  to 
Ridgeway's  (the  Smithsonian)  nomenclature  of  1881  ;  it 
gives  the  numbers  used  in  Baird's  check-list  of  1859  and 
those  used  in  Coues'  of  1883  ;  it  gives  the  value  of  the  eggs 
of  over  550  species  of  North  American  birds,  this  fact  alone 
making  the  catalogue  invaluable  to  collectors  as  a  basis  of 
exchange. 

It  names  the  various  families  into  which  the  birds  of 
North  America  are  divided,  and  enumerates  the  birds 
belonging  to  each  family. 

It  gives,  approximately,  the  number  of  eggs  in  a  clutch 
of  every  American  bird. 

It  tells  how  to  prepare  specimens  for  cabinet,  how  to 
pack  them  for  transportation,  with  many  other  useful  hints.

INTRODUCTION. 


My    Collection 

Of  eggs  of  North  American  birds,  incomplete  as  it  is,  out- 
numbers, I  think,  both  in  species  represented  and  in  num- 
ber of  specimens,  that  of  any  American  dealer.  My  stock 
is  constantly  increasing,  and  being  in  direct  correspondence 
with  nearly  2,000  collectors  I  can  furnish  my  patrons  al- 
most anything  obtainable. 

Condition  and  Marking  of  Specimens. 

Every  specimen  priced  in  this  catalogue  is  first-class  in 
every  respect,  being  carefully  and  cleanly  blown  from  one 
smoothly  drilled  hole  in  the  side  and  free  from  ink-marks 
or  unnatural  stains  of  any  kind. 

All  specimens  are  numbered  to  correspond  with  Ridge- 
way's  nomenclature  (the  numbers  on  the  left  in  this  cata- 
logue.) 

Substitutes. 

As  my  stock  is  constantly  changing,  collectors,  when 
ordering,  should  always  mention  a  few  extra  specimens 
that  can  be  used  as  substitutes,  in  case  I  am  out  of  any  of 
the  specimens  desired. 

It  is  impossible  for  any  dealer  to  always  have  everything 
in  stock  they  advertise. 

All  orders  filled  Proir.ptly. 

To  my  promptness  in  filling  and  forwarding  orders  I,  in 
no  small  measure,-  attribute  my  success.  We  well  know 
that  when  a  collector  orders  a  specimen  he  wants  it  at  once, 
not  a  month  or  two  hence.  All  orders  are  fillecT  by  return 
mail,  except  when  unavoidably  delayed.  . 

The  naming  of  extra  specimens  to  be  used  as  substitutes 
will  often  avoid  delay  in  the  filling  of  an  order. 

Careful  Packing  and  Safe  Delivery  of  Specimens 
Guaranteed. 

I  exercise  the  greatest  of  care  in  packing,  and  use  noth- 
ing but  strong,  well  made  boxes  (most  of  which  are  made 
expressly  for  my  use.) 

Frequently  specimens  are  broken  by  rough  usage  and 
handling  in  the  mails,  this  of  course  is  no  fault  of  mine,  but, 


INTRODUCTION. 


owing  to  the  confidence  I  place  in  my  system  of  packing, 
I  will  guarantee  the  safe  delivery  of  every  specimen  I  send, 
whether  by  mail  or  otherwise. 

Should  specimens  happen  to  become  broken,  I  will  re- 
place such  specimens  gratis,  providing  the  damaged  speci- 
mens are  returned  to  me  within  three  days  after  they  have 
been  received  by  the  parties  ordering, 

Large  and  valuable  orders  are  usually  sent  by  express,"  as 
it  is  much  safer. 

Surplus  Stock. 

I  frequently  recsive  the  eggs  of  some  species  in  large 
quantities  at  very  low  rates. 

My  friends  are  given  the  benefit  of  these  low  rates  in  the 
Curiosity  Bulletin  which  I  publish  bi-monthly. 

Second-class  Specimens. 

I  usually  have  in  stock  a  lot  of  specimens  that  are  either 
end-blown,  blown  through  a  large  or  rough  hole  in  the  side, 
or  otherwise  imperfect. 

This  class  of  specimens  answer  very  well  for  the  beginner 
or  any  collector  desiring  a  lot  of  specimens  for  a  small  sum 
of  money. 

Second-class  specimens  are  sold  very  low. 

Prices  and  the  list  of  second-class  specimens,  we  can  fur- 
nish, can  always  be  found  in  the  Curiosity  Bulletin. 

Exchanging. 

For  such  eggs  as  I  may  want  I  will  allow  one-half  cata- 
logue rates  in  exchange.  Special  rates  can  sometimes  be 
given  for  very  desirable  lots. 

Parties  desiring  to  exchange  with  me  should  always  ob- 
serve the  following  hints,  thereby  preventing  any  possible 
unpleasantness  or  delay  : — 

Write,  stating  plainly  what  you  have  to  offer,  and  what 
you  desire  in  return,  should  we  arrange  an  exchange. 

Pack  carefully  ;  remember  you  ship  your  eggs  at  your 
risk. 

Mark  your  name  and  address  on  the  package,  it  is  often 
impossible  for  me  to  tell  who  it  is  from  if  you  do  not.  (I 
am  now  furnishing  my  friends  a  neat  little  three  or  four 
line  Rubber  Stamp  and  outfit  for  this  purpose  at  only  35 
cents,  usual  price  $1.00.) 


INTRODUCTION. 


Last  but  not  least — 

I  want  nothing  but  strictly  first-class  specimens  in  ex- 
change. Specimens  of  any  other  quality  will  be  heavily 
discounted,  or  returned  at  the  senders  expense. 

Small  exchanges  amounting  to  less  than  $1.00  not 
solicited. 

Eggs  in  Sets 

Can  generally  be  furnished  when  desired.  No  more  will 
be  charged  for  each  egg  in  a  set  than  for  single  specimens. 

The  date  and  locality  of  taking  and  generally  description 
of  nest  accompanies  each  set. 

The  numbers  of  eggs  in  a  set  can  be  ascertained  by  ref er- 
ing  to  the  table  following  the  catalogue.

INSTRUCTIONS     FOB     THE     COLLECTOR    OF 
BIRDS'  EGGS. 


On  the  following'pages  we  endeavor  to  tell  in  as  few 
words  as  practical  how  to  prepare  eggs  for  the  cabinet. 

The  methods  of  other  collectors  may  differ  in  a  meas- 
ure from  the  one  we  give,  but  taken  as  a  whole,  they  are 
essentially  the  same. 

End  blown  specimens  are  now  of  but  little,  if  any 
value. 

The  few  that  now  remain  in  the  cabinets  of  our  more 
advanced  oologists  are  being  replaced  by  carefully  pre- 
pared side-blown  ones. 

As  good  instruments  can  now  be  obtained  of  any 
dealer  for  a  trifle,  it  is  a  poor  apology  f  or  an  oologist  to  mar 
the  beauty  and  inpair  the  value  of  his  treasures  by  blowing 
them  through  the  ends. 

The  majority  of  our_  leading  oologists  save  their  speci- 
mens in  the  original  set  or  clutch,  while  a  few  of  the  older 
and  the  majority  of  the  younger  ones  save  eggs  either 
singly  or  in  pairs. 

Our  advise  to  beginners,  who  have  no  true  love  for 
"our  hobby,  "and  collect  only  for  a  pastime,  or  strive  to 
out  number  the  collection  of  some  friend,  or  whose  chief  aim. 
is  to  become  a  mere  egg  collector  would  be  to  collect  spar- 
ingly of  single  eggs,  for  we  assure  you  that  as  soon  as  the 
novelty  wears  off  they  will  be  cast  aside  to  make  way  for 
the  next  craze.

DATA  BLANKS. 


When  collecting  eggs  in  sets  each  set  should  be  accom- 
panied with  a  well-filled  data  blank.  Of  the  many  forms 
now  in  use  the  one  given  on  the  following  page  is  one  of 
the  most  convenient  and  popular. 

We  always  keep  a  complete  assortment  of  various 
styles  and  sizes,  and  will  be  pleased  to  send  a  full  set  of 
samples  with  prices  to  all  applicants  enclosing  stamp.

Each  egg  of  the  above  set  should  be  marked  516|. 


HIRD'S  EGGS,  SUPPLIES,  EFC.  73 

Always  use  a  soft  lead  pencil  in  marking  eggs.  Never 
ink. 

The  well-filled  data  blank,  as  given  on  the  preceeding. 
page,  is  self  explanatory  : 

The  No.  "516"  refers  to  the  number  as  given  in 
Ridge  way's  Nomenclature,  those  used  in  this  catalogue. 

Set  mark  "3"  signifies  that  this  is  the  third  clutch 
of  the  Killdeer,  taken  by  the  collector  during  the  season. 

The  figure,  letter  or  character  you  use  in  marking  the 
eggs  of  one  clutch  to  distinguish  them  from  those  in 
another  of  the  same  species  should  always  be  duplicated  in 
the  data  blank  in  the  space  following  the  words,  "set 
mark.  " 

When  figures  are  used  for  dates,  either  on  the  blank  or 
on  the  egg,  the  month  should  be  placed  first,  thus: — 
5-15-84,  for  May  15th,  1884.

HOW  TO  BLOW  AND  PREPARE  BIRDS'  EGGS. 


Before  commencing  to  blow  most  eggs  remove  all  dirt 
and  unnatural  stains  with  a  soft  cloth  and  warm  water. 

The  eggs  of  some  species  cannot  be  washed  without 
destroying  the  "  bloom  "  while  in  others  the  characteristic 
marking  will  wash  away  on  account  of  the  shell  being  so 
•calcareous.  Hold  the  egg  carefully  but  securely  between 
the  thumb  and  fingers  of  one  hand,  while  you  gently  twirl 
the  drill  with  those  of  the  other. 

It  is  often  necessary  and  generally  advisable  to  start 
the  hole  with  a  sharp  needle.  When  the  hole  is  of  the 
proper  size,  in  small  eggs  it  need  not  be  any  larger  than  the 
diameter  of  a  pin,  while  in  an  egg  the  size  of  a  Robins's 
a  hole  the  diameter  of  a  pin  head  is  large  enough. 

Invert  the  egg  and  hold  it  with  the  hole  downwards 
over  a  basin  of  water — this  will  often  save  a  desirable  spec- 
imen in  case  you  should  happen  to  drop  it  while  blowing — 
place  the  tip  of  the  blow-pipe  near  the  aperture,  never 
Insert  it  unlesss  the  egg  is  large,  blow  steadily  and  contin- 
uously, the  contents  will  ooze  out. 

After  the  egg  is  blown,  rinse  thoroughly  with  clean 
•water  ;  this  can  be  easily  done  by  taking  a  little  water  in  the 
mouth  and  sending  it  through  the  blowpipe  into  the  egg,  or 
by  placing  the  tip  of  the  blow-pipe  in  a  glass  of  fresh 
w:iter,  draw  the  pipe  nearly  full,  inject  into  egg  by  blowing. 
When  rinsing  large  eggs  it  is  often  necessary  to  shake 
thoroughly  when  partially  full  of  water. 


BIRD'S  EGGS,  SUPPLIES,  ETC.  75 

After  rinsing  wipe  the  egg  dry  and  lay  it  with  the  hole 
down  in  a  tray  that  has  a  coarse  towel  or  piece  of  blotting 
paper  in  the  bottom  to  absorb  the  drainage.  As  soon  as  the 
egg  becomes  thoroughly  dry  both  within  and  without,  the 
egg  is  ready  for  the  cabinet. 

THE  EMBRYO,  unless  too  far  advanced,  can  be  removed 
by  drilling  the  hole  larger,  blow  out  a  portion  of  the 
contents,  inject  a  little  water,  shake  gently,  blow  again. 
We  have  often  removed  an  embryo  nearly  formed  in  this 
manner.  It  will  sometimes  be  necessary  to  repeat  this  opera- 
tion several  times  before  the  embryo  is  entirely  removed. 

When  the  young  is  well  formed  in  the  egg,  it  can  be 
removed  by  making  the  hole  still  larger,  and  extracting  the 
contents  in  small  pieces  by  the  use  of  an  embryo  hook. 
We  have  often  taken  a  young  bird  from  the  egg  whole,  by 
making  the  hole  very  large,  then  fishing  in  the  egg  with 
embryo  hook  until  able  to  hook  it  into  the  under  mandible 
then  draw  and  work  gently. 

It  requires  only  a  very  little  practice  to  enable  any  per- 
son to  prepare  and  blow  an  egg  or  extract  an  embryo 
nicely. 

A  "  little  practice"  will  be  of  more  value  to  the  col- 
lector than  volumes  written  on  the  subject. 

BLOWING  MACHINES,  AUTOMATIC  DRILLS,  SUCTION 
BULBS,  &c. ,  have  been  with  us  a  failure,  we  do  not  wish 
to  condemn  the  use  of  any  realty  meritorious  instrument, 
but  as  yet  we  have  failed  to  find  anything  equal  to  a  good 
drill,  blow-pipe  and  embryo  hook.  Fine  scissors  are  often 
very  useful  in  cutting  the  embryo.

TO  PACK  EGGS  FOB  TRANSPORTATION. 


Always  use  strong  boxes,  well  made  from  some  light 
material. 

Cigar  boxes,  if  well  made,  answer  the  purpose  very 
well.  The  large  sizes  we  do  not  consider  as  safe  as  the 
smaller  ones. 

Should  the  cover  tit  inside  of  the  end  pieces  of  the 
box,  nail  a  small  cleat  across  each  end  on  the  inside,  thereby 
preventing  any  possibility  of  the  cover  breaking  in  and 
crushing  the  contents,  which  would  otherwise  almost  in- 
variably happen  from  the  rough  usage  which  the  box  is  sure 
to  receive  in  the  mails. 

For  orders  or  exchanges  smaller  than  those  required  to 
till  a  "50  "  size  cigar  box  we  use  round  tin  boxes  ranging  in 
size  from  1  oz.  to  16  oz.  The  saving  in  postage  by  the  use 
of  these  boxes  will  more  then  pay  the  first  cost.  The  12 
and  16  oz.  size,  although  we  use  hundreds  of  them,  at  our 
risk,  we  do  not  consider  safe  unless  the  boxes  are  first  cov- 
ered with  a  strip  of  pasteboard  before  the  final  wrapping 
for  the  mail.  Having  prepared  a  suitable  box  for  the  spec- 
imens, we  proceeoT  to  pack  them  by  wrapping  each  egg 
carefully  in  a  small  roll  of  cotton.  The  eggs  thus  wrapped 
can  then  be  packed  in  layers,  snugly,  but  not  tightly,  in  the 
box.  Hundreds  of  eggs  are  broken  through  careless  pack- 
ing, and  by  trying  to  crowd  in  too  many  eggs  into  a  small 
space. 

After  wrapping  your  eggs  in  cotton  if  you  must  add 
nn  additional  wrapper  use  a  piece  of  thin  paper,  tissue  is 


BIRD'S  EGGS,  SUPPLIES,   ETC.  77 

best.  Do  not  wind  on  several  yards  of  thread,  we  know  this 
is  a  customary  practice  with  many  collectors,  but  it  is  both 
a  waste  of  time  and  material,  and  the  eggs  are  far  more 
liable  to  become  broken  when  unpacked  than  if  wrapped 
in  the  ordinary  manner. 

Pasteboard  partitions  should  never  be  used  unless  the 
sender  wishes  to  be  rewarded  with  a  lot  of  broken  eggs. 
The  same  caution  might  also  be  given  to  collectors  who  are 
in  the  habit  of  throwing  in  their  eggs  loosely,  either  in  lay- 
ers or  in  bulk.  Large  eggs  can  be  packed  in  dry  moss, 
tow,  oakum,  or  similar  material. 

Never  use  bran  or  sawdust,  it  will  work  in  the  holes 
where  the  eggs  are  blown  and  will  make  them  so  solid  that 
they  will  jolt  together  and  break.  Hundreds  of  valuable 
specimens  have  been  broken  every  season  through  im- 
proper packing,  fully  seventy-five  per  cent,  of  these  break- 
ages could  have  been  avoided  if  the  packers  had  only  used 
a  little  more  care  and  judgement. 

Useful  hints,  items,  and  instructions  are  given  in  every 
number  of  the  Young  Oologist,  a  sixteen  page  monthly  with 
cover,  which  we  publish  on  fine  book  paper  at  only  60  cts. 
per  year. 

Any  question  of  interest  to  the  collector  will  be  cheer- 
fully answered  through  its  columns.

Tlie  first  aim  of  this  work  is  to  render  as  popular  and 
attractive  as  possible,  as  well  as  to  bring  within  a  small 
compass,  the  sum  total  of  Hie  bird  life  of  Eastern  North 
America,  The  author  has  therefore  given  brief  descrip- 
tions, and  for  the  most  part  full  life  histories,  of  all  the 
species  commonly  east  of  the  Mississippi,  giving  special  at- 
tention to  the  songs  and  nesting,  and  dwelling  upon  the 
curious  and  fascinating,  of  which  there  is  so  much  in  the 
lives  of  these  wonderful  creatures.  The  narrative  follows, 
for  the  most  part,  the  order  of  the  seasons,  and  groups  itself 
about  certain  interesting  localities,  as  Xiagara  River  and  St. 
Clair  Flats,  for  instance.  lie  gives  ;i  good  deal  of  attention 
to  migration,  instinct,  the  facts  of  nidification,  the  special 
ized  forms  and  adaptations  of  structure  in  birds,  etc.,  etc., 
endeavoring  particularly  to  make  all  this  readable. 

In  short,  he  has  tried  to  meet  a  demand  never  yet  met 
in  this  country — to  have  a  work  on  birds  for  everybody. 
Me  writes  almost  entirely  from  personal  observation,  incor- 
porating in  his  work  a  full  report  for  Western  New  York 
and  the  adjoining  regions  of  the  Great  Lakes,  and  a  pretty 
full  report,  for  Nova  Scotia,  also  a  good  deal  of  direct  infor- 
mation from  Hudson's  Bay,  by  means  of  an  excellent  cor- 
respondent.
